The NDP is urging the federal government to condemn what it calls U.S. President Donald Trump's "racist" travel ban and to suspend a refugee agreement with the U.S.

The New Democrats have been pressuring the federal government to temporarily halt the Safe Third Country Agreement, arguing it endangers lives by forcing asylum seekers to cross into Canada outside official border points.
